Expert Bio

I am passionate about agriculture, farmers and enhancing agricultural awareness with the non-farming public. I grew up in the city but have been fortunate to work for four different agricultural organizations over the past 30 years. Each role has given me the privilege of working closely with, and for, farmers. I love that I get to learn from them, listen to them and try to help them with their goal to grow healthy, sustainable and safe food. In my time outside of work, I am an avid competitive golfer and passionate curler. I also enjoy NFL Football, curling up with a good book, and spending time on the farm with my closest friends.
